gday all, this is an email i received from my old boy..

Subject: Very Important Notice to all Car Enthusiasts

Below is some important Info we would like to pass on -

Dear Car Club members,

On Wednesday the 1st of July, Wyong Shire Council advertised for Expressions Of Interest in the proposed ‘Wyong Automotive Racing Precinct’.

Essentially, Wyong Council are looking at the level of interest shown by local and surrounding car clubs in a motor sport / driver training facility on the Central Coast of NSW, 1 hour from Hornsby and 40 minutes from Newcastle.

Having been an avid follower and participant in motorsport for the last 20 years, I was very disappointed, like many of us, to see the demise of Amaroo Park Raceway and the impending demise of Oran Park does not leave NSW motorsport lovers with too many venues to view and enjoy our sport.

Wyong Shire Council has asked that interested parties complete a survey and return it to them by the 17th of July which does not give us much time. The questionnaire / survey can be found at the following address.

http://www.wyong.nsw.gov.au/about/Motor_sp...uestionaire.pdf

I feel very strongly about the opportunity for us to contribute to the development of a genuine motorsport/ driver training facility that is well overdue. It would provide us all with an alternate venue to showcase our sport and help develop our kids into safer drivers of the future.

We cannot let an opportunity like this pass us by. It has taken too long to come to reality and left unsupported, will disappear indefinitely.

For those of you that require additional information, please view the website at http://www.wyong.nsw.gov.au/about/council_notices.html#40

or contact Kathryn Heintz, Strategic Planner

on 43505552 or at [email protected]

I encourage your members to take the time to fill out this questionnaire and return it to Wyong Shire Council prior to July 17. They can address it to:

Council Chambers

PO Box 20

Wyong NSW 2259

This is a matter of utmost urgency. Please feel free to circulate this email to anybody who you feel may benefit from such a facility right here on the Central Coast. The more support, the better for all of us.

Many thanks,

      I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.

      Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.

      That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain.

      OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
